Abstract	Women empowerment is central to inclusive development, particularly in Jharkhand, where rural and tribal populations face socio-economic challenges. The state government has launched various initiatives to uplift women through financial aid, skill development, and entrepreneurship. Key among them is the Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana, offering direct monthly monetary support to women of 18-50 years age group. Additionally, schemes like Self-Help Groups (SHGs) promotion, the Jharkhand Start-Up Policy 2016, Jharkhand State Industrial Policy 2001, and programs by the MSME Development Institute and Department of Industries play vital roles in fostering economic independence. Based on survey, this study aims to assess women’s awareness, participation, and benefits received from these schemes. It also highlights real-world impacts, identifies gaps for improving their effectiveness and suggests ways to strengthen women empowerment initiatives in Jharkhand.
